How traditionalism impacts domestic violence

Title:
How traditionalism impacts domestic violence
Description:

Sofia Guidi was shocked when she learned how prevalent domestic violence is worldwide. She was even more shocked when she discovered that law isn't always on the victim's side. In this fervent Talk, Sofia uses examples from recent Russian headlines to explain why preserving cultural tradition doesn't necessarily mean preserving safety, and discusses why she's concerned about the state of women's rights internationally. "Even if I live in another country and in another society and I have never met those women, I share their stories and their fear."
